Joining the operations at the mine, the equipment will either move prime overburden in front of the dragline or overburden in dedicated excavator and truck pits uncovering coal, according to Stanmore Coal.

The company noted that once the environmental approvals are granted for the Isaac Downs project, it is planned that the excavator will transfer to Isaac Downs to commence the box-cut operation to establish the mine.

Operations at Isaac Plains East coal mine will continue simultaneously with the development of the project.

NRW CEO and managing director Jules Pemberton said: “This amendment is built on the back of a productive relationship and a positive transition for both Stanmore and Golding to the Isaac Plains East operations.
